Sr GNC Engineer

• Lead technical reviews of navigation, guidance, control, and TSPI systems, assessing GPS/INS integration, sensor fusion approaches, and navigation algorithm performance against program specifications.
• Develop and deliver technical reports, validation criteria, and analysis of navigation system performance, including Monte Carlo, covariance, and real‑time/post‑mission TSPI assessments.
• Provide systems engineering support across the acquisition lifecycle for NGC/TSPI components, including integration, sustainment, test planning, and risk management aligned with AF SEAM.
• Conduct engineering trade studies and technical evaluations focused on GPS modernization, anti‑jam techniques, alternate navigation solutions for GPS‑denied environments, and TSPI instrumentation.
• Analyze proposals, requirements, and programmatic documentation/artifacts to ensure technical feasibility, cost‑effectiveness, and proper allocation of NGC/TSPI requirements throughout the system baseline.
